Bidirectional Electric Vehicle Charger Global Market Report 2025

The bidirectional electric vehicle charger market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.03 billion in 2024 to $1.2 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to government initiatives for the development of electric vehicle charging infrastructure, raising demand for electric automobiles, increase use of EV for public transportation, demand for energy-efficient charging solutions, advent of intelligent transportation systems.

The bidirectional electric vehicle charger market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.2 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing numbers of electric vehicles worldwide, raising EV charging infrastructure, need for renewable sources of power and energy, increasing consumer awareness about sustainable mobility, increasing sales of electric vehicles. Major trends in the forecast period include shift towards renewable energy-based transportation infrastructure, technological advancements in energy storage, expansion of electric vehicle charging networks, integration of bidirectional charging in renewable energy projects, advancements in battery technology.

The forecast of 16.4% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 1.9% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through tariffs on power inverters, bidirectional controllers, and semiconductor modules sourced from South Korea and China, increasing the price of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) enabled EV infrastructure.The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The surge in electric vehicle (EV) adoption is poised to catalyze significant growth in bidirectional electric vehicle charger markets. Electric vehicles, powered by rechargeable batteries, are reshaping transportation by reducing reliance on fossil fuels and minimizing environmental impact. Technological advancements in battery longevity, charging infrastructure, and overall performance are driving this adoption. Bidirectional charging, a pivotal innovation, empowers EVs to interact dynamically with the electrical grid. They can not only draw power but also return surplus energy to the grid during periods of high demand or instability, offering ancillary services such as frequency regulation and demand response. For instance, data from April 2023, as per the International Energy Agency, showcases electric vehicles' share of new car sales rising to 14% in 2022, a significant leap from approximately 9% in 2021, thus fueling the growth of bidirectional electric vehicle charger markets.

Key players in the bidirectional electric vehicle charger market are focusing on vehicle-to-grid (V2G) bi-directional chargers such as the advanced EQ 200 charger. These chargers enable electric vehicles to feed stored energy back into the grid, balancing supply and demand. For example, Blink Charging Co. introduced the EQ 200 charger in November 2023, representing a paradigm shift towards adaptable and eco-friendly energy management systems. Equipped with intelligent features such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and various connectivity options, including 2G and 4G, the EQ 200 seamlessly integrates with load-balancing and smart energy management systems. This versatility positions it to support emerging technologies such as vehicle-to-grid (VTG) and vehicle-to-everything (VTX), ensuring adaptability amidst evolving grid technologies.

In January 2024, Siemens strategically bolstered its presence in the bidirectional electric vehicle charger market through the acquisition of Heliox, a Netherlands-based company renowned for its expertise in bidirectional electric vehicle chargers. This acquisition expands Siemens' portfolio, particularly in charging solutions ranging from 40 kW to beyond a megawatt for commercial EV depots. It also reinforces Siemens' foothold in Europe and North America while enhancing its capabilities in power electronics, positioning the company as a formidable player in the bidirectional electric vehicle charger market.

Bidirectional electric vehicle chargers are advanced charging systems designed to not only replenish electric vehicle batteries but also enable energy flow from the vehicle back to the grid or to power other devices. These chargers facilitate vehicle-to-grid (V2G) capabilities, enhancing the flexibility and efficiency of electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

The main charging types of bidirectional electric vehicle chargers are categorized based on their power output: less than 20 kWh, 20-40 kWh, 40-100 kWh, and more than 100 kWh. Chargers with a power output of less than 20 kilowatt-hours fall into the first category. These chargers support various propulsion types, including battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). They are sourced from various providers, including original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and aftermarket suppliers, for applications such as vehicle-to-grid (V2G), vehicle-to-home (V2H), vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), and vehicle-to-load (V2L). These chargers are deployed in both domestic and commercial settings to meet diverse charging needs.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are placing significant strain on the transport sector, especially in areas such as fleet maintenance and logistics. Increased duties on imported commercial vehicles, tires, and engine parts have driven up operating costs for trucking and freight firms, forcing them to either raise shipping rates or accept lower profit margins. Airlines and maritime operators are also under pressure, as tariffs on aircraft components and shipbuilding materials have pushed capital expenditures higher. Meanwhile, retaliatory tariffs in key export markets have weakened demand for U.S.-manufactured transportation equipment, further squeezing revenues. To cope, the industry is turning to fuel efficiency measures, alternative supply sources, and greater automation to manage rising costs while maintaining dependable service.
